My mind seemed to be in a slight jumble today; not as confused as yesterday, although still not productive. Thought once more about differentiation of creativity consumed, or one that is authored. What does an inspired creator intend to convey, on a psychological level?
For example, if I am simply elated by a piece of work that many others denounce; might not be easy to get to, but what might the author think of such a situation? And more interestingly: has the inspiration even been of such similar elation, as well? Or rather, has my mind filled in some blanks to convey an even more fulfilling experience that the creators might miss out on? I noticed this happening at least once.
This can further be abstracted to ask "how does art interact with the mind?" - and, do we take our experiences for granted...at least until they change or die? Should we rather live for the moment and dissuade ourselves from meta-analysis, in an attempt to reach an understanding of the psyche and replicate the astounding experiences we might have unintentionally had, in order to truly enjoy novel ones?
